Group Stage Draft

As the best regular season teams, both Fnatic and OpTic were placed into different groups and given the choice to pick one team to avoid in the group stage, by seeding them into the opposing group. From then on, every seeded team got to draft one team of their own into the opposing group until the group stage draft was finalized.
